Last weekend, SigEp’s Ruck Leadership Institute took place at SigEp Headquarters in Richmond, VA, and we’re proud to have two of our brothers represent Connecticut Alpha as attendees. Ethan Lovallo (Chapter President, pictured below on the left) and Will Servino (VP of Recruitment, pictured below on the right) were two of 142 selected Ruck Scholars out of 600+ applicants for the weekend where they strengthened their leadership skills and analyzed areas of weakness with other brothers around the country. Ruck is a prime example of what differentiates SigEp from other organizations, and we can’t wait to send more brothers in the future. Below are our brothers’ thoughts of what they got out of the weekend:

Ethan Lovallo:
“Ruck exceeded my expectations far beyond I could have thought. It was extremely rewarding to learn about the history of the fraternity and represent CT Alpha at the national level. At Ruck, I was challenged to have uncomfortable conversations and dig deep in finding ways to improve myself and my local chapter. I met some extraordinary people that I know will have my back for a lifetime and only want the best for me and my chapter. Not every fraternity offers this kind of leadership experience where you really feel a personal investment being made in yourself, and I am so grateful that I joined a fraternity that cares so much about their undergrad and the future. My biggest takeaway from Ruck is that I will be committed to serving my chapter and every worthy endeavor of Sigma Phi Epsilon.”

Will Servino:
“Ruck has been one of the most influential weekends of my life. I was pushed to boundaries I did not know I had, and challenged to engage in meaningful discussions that endorsed personal development and curiosity. From having the opportunity to gain leadership knowledge from alumni all across the country, to creating a bond with a number of highly-motivated brothers in the span of a few days, I can say with confidence that Ruck has equipped me with the tools to make a difference in our chapter and beyond. This is what makes our fraternity different — and makes me damn proud to be a SigEp.”
